KUALA LUMPUR, June 21 — The Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) has denied the claim by a website which lists Kuala Lumpur as among the 10 most dangerous cities in the world.
According to a statement issued yesterday on the PDRM Facebook, it said the allegation was totally untrue and the public was advised not to believe the information or disseminate it.
“The public is urged not to easily believe and spread information from the website, which is not validated, as it was not referred to the police.
“Malaysians should also be responsible and ethical disseminators of information by ensuring any information obtained and shared out is from an official source,” it said.
Based on statistics issued by the police from 2010 to 2012, PDRM successfully reduced the crime index in Kuala Lumpur by 31.8 per cent. — Bernama
